Chelsea's run to the round of 16 of the Champions League this season has earned the Blues £55.5million.

Having returned to Europe's elite competition following a one-year absence, Antonio Conte's team were handed a tricky draw in the group stage alongside Roma, Atletico Madrid and Qarabag.

The Blues did manage to progress to the next stage of the competition, although their 3-0 defeat in Rome saw them finishing second in the group behind the Serie A giants.

While Roma were handed a tie against Shakhtar Dontesk for finishing top, Conte's team were given the daunting task of progressing against Barcelona.

Despite a fine performance at Stamford Bridge in the first leg, the Blues crashed out of the competition with the Spanish side registering a 3-0 win at the Nou Camp.

Under current Champions League rules, clubs are given prize money dependent on their results in the group stage, how far they progress in the competition along with their share of what is called the market pool, which is split according to the proportional value of each television market.

Chelsea earned €12.7m just for appearing in the group stage, where their record of three wins, two draws and one loss earned them €5.9m and appearing in the knockout round was worth a further €6m.

The TV pool earned the Blues €39.7m, bringing up a total of €64.3m (£55.5m).
